Our New Van Meter Merton Connect Wiki

With the collaboration, creating, and sharing between our two schools continuing we needed a place to showcase student work. We have created the Van Meter Merton Connect Wiki .

The first project that we will be sharing is the 3rd Grade Glog project that our students created in December about their holiday wishes. The students created these amazing projects using the Web 2.0 tool called GlogsterEdu.com. Lisa created them with the 3rd graders at Merton and I created them with the 3rd graders at Van Meter. The students will now have a place to look at their friends Glogs too.

As we move into the second semester of school, the connections that we have started will continue to grow. We will be excited to share the work of our students on the Van Meter Merton Connect wiki and hope to inspire others to make similar connections too!

Two wonderful schools have connected to bring creativity, collaboration, learning, and experiences to the students and school community. Van Meter Community School in Van Meter, Iowa and Merton Community School in Merton, Wisconsin will share their story here!
